Bobby Motaung Happy to Face Orlando Pirates in Nedbank Cup! Amakhosi will take on their rivals The Buccaneers in the competition.

Kaizer Chiefs have been drawn to play against Orlando Pirates in the Nedbank Cup semi-finals. Team manager Bobby Motaung was rather thrilled to face their Soweto rivals.

The draw was conducted on Sunday evening, after Amakhosi defeated Royal AM in extra-time to make it to the last four. They are now only two victories away from ending their barren 8-year trophyless run.

“It’s a great draw,” Motaung told iDiski Times.

“Any team that’s in the semi-final was going to be difficult. Both semi-finals are tough.

“For us to play Pirates, we can’t say we wanted them in the final or semi. This is the right time to play them.” He added.

Amakhosi have won five consecutive league matches against Orlando Pirates, a run which started in March 2021. They completed the double in the past two campaigns in the DSTV Premiership over their rivals.

“That’s in the past. This is a cup semi-final, a cup game and a different ball game altogether.

“But definitely it’s good for us to play them now.” Motaung concluded.

The Buccaneers have won two of the last three MTN 8 competitions, so they have had better luck and experience in cup competitions, over Amakhosi. Bobby Motaung Happy to Face Orlando Pirates in Nedbank Cup!
